One fact of life on the road is that, well, you may spend a lot of time on the road. And the odds are that the more time you spend on the road the more likely you are at some point to experience that most dreaded of RV experiences. . .a blowout.

The thought of a blowout in something as big as an RV going down the road at 50 miles an hour can be pretty scary. 

And it must be said that if you follow standard operating procedure by checking your tires every time before taking off, replacing tires as soon as they show any signs of wear or cracking, or replacing them before they reach they age limits (5 years is said to be the max) your chances of experiencing a blowout will be significantly lessened.

But it still could happen and you need to be prepared.  Not being prepared could lead at the worst to fatalities or at the least to a lot of expensive damage to your RV.  We know of people who have experienced this first hand.

In this excellent video John Anderson of A’ Weigh We Go shows the simple action to take if you experience a blow out that will save your life and your vehicle, as well as the science of why it works.
